WAWA/WeAreWideAwake is my Public Service to America as a muckracker who has journeyed seven times to Israel Palestine since June 2005.
WAWA is dedicated to confronting media and governments that shield the whole
truth.

We who Are Wide
Awake are compelled by the "fierce urgency of Now" [Rev MLK, Jr.] to raise
awareness and promote the human dialogue about many of the crucial issues of our
day: the state of our Union and in protection of democracy, what life is like
under military occupation in Palestine, the Christian EXODUS from the Holy Land,
and spirituality-from a Theologically Liberated Christian Anarchist
POV.

"Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all...and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave...a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils."George Washington's Farewell Address - 1796

We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that, among these, are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; and, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. -July 4, 1776. The Declaration of Independence

The New Fourth Estate is comprised of Internet reporters who do not take orders from editors or paychecks from conglomerates. We seek the truth and report as a matter of public service.

In a true democracy with a media dedicated to
seeking and reporting the truth the presidential debates would include other
parties and inquiries such as these:

1.As
Israel has much deeper and decades longer of nuclear secrets buried in the
Middle East—will you reply to the following video and explain why –or why
not-demand of Israel what is demanded of Iran and listen to Israel's Nuclear Whistle Blower and establish a Nuclear Free
Middle East?

2.In light of George Washington’s warning
to US:

"Observe good faith and
justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all...and
passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of
them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation
which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in
some degree a slave...a passionate attachment of one nation for another
produces a variety of evils."-Farewell Address - 1796

What do the presidential candidates have to say regarding an Israel media report
of 24 April 2004, which was three days after Israel’s Nuclear Whistle
Blower was released from 18 years in a windowless tomb sized cell jail for
providing the photographic proof and telling the truth about Israel's
clandestine seven story underground WMD Program in the Negev:

"Everybody understands that he has no more secrets. What can a technician
know after 18 years in jail, during which technology has advanced with giant
steps?

"But gradually it becomes clear what the security establishment is really
afraid of. Vanunu is in a position to expose the close partnership with the
United States in the development of Israel's nuclear armaments.

"This worries Washington so much, that the man responsible in the State
Department for 'arms control', Under-Secretary John Bolton, has come to Israel
in person for the occasion. Vanunu, it appears, can cause severe damage to the
mighty super-power.

"The Americans, it seems, are very worried. The Israeli security services have
to dance to their tune. The world must be prevented by all available means from
hearing, from the lips of a credible witness, that the Americans are full
partners in Israel's nuclear arms program, while pretending to be the world's
sheriff for the prevention of nuclear proliferation."

3.Alfred Nobel’s intention was to reward
people with a moral backbone and he hoped to create icons and examples to
humankind. Last week the NOBEL PEACE
PRIZE was awarded to the EUROPEAN UNION.

President Obama’s Nobel peer, Mairead Maguire wrote:

“Alfred Nobel was a visionary who believed in a
demilitarized peaceful world. In his Will he left his Nobel peace prize
to those who would work for ‘fraternity among nations’,’abolition or reduction
of standing armies’, and ‘holding and promotion of peace congresses’.

“In Nobel’s will the award for Peace was to go to
Champions of peace, those working to replace militarism with international
order based on law and the abolition of national military forces. Nobel’s
vision and dream was to replace the power of militarism and war, with the power
of law. I believe the Awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to the
European Union, does not meet the criteria of Alfred Nobel vision and
spirit, and his vision of a demilitarized peaceful world.

“In many ways the European Union has done much
in the past sixty years for Peace and reconciliation amongst nations, but it
has sadly done little for the demilitarization of Europe. Whilst the EU
imposes severe Austerity measures upon many EU countries it
simultaneously supports the growing militarisation of Europe by its support for
US/NATO (guilty of war crimes against Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.,
)

“It continues to support the policies of USA Nuclear weapons, held in six
EU States. It supports arms sales from European States (UK, Germany,
etc.,) to coutries all around the world. The EU instead of upholding
human rights for countries such as Palestine, has rewarded Israel by
giving them special trading status and huge grants (EU tax payers money) for
its Military Research and weapons thus enabling it to continue it illegal
policies of occupation and Apartheid of Palestine. I cannot support this
decision to give the peace prize to EU and appeal to the Swedish Foundation
Authority to hold the Nobel Committee accountable for giving, yet again, a
political award instead of supporting People taking courageous, and often
dangerous stands to help move the human family away from military international
Relations to one based on peaceful resolution of conflict….”-Mairead Corrigan
Maguire – Nobel peace prize (1976)

Mairead’s friend Mordechai Vanunu has been
nominated for the Nobel over twenty times. When he was
nominated in 2009, Vanunu wrote the Nobel Committee:

"I am
asking the committee to remove my name from the nominations. I cannot be part
of a list of laureates that includes Simon Peres. Peres established and
developed the atomic weapon program in Dimona in Israel. Peres was the man who
ordered [my] kidnapping and he continues to oppose my freedom and release. WHAT
I WANT IS FREEDOM AND ONLY FREEDOM I NEED NOW."

Vanunu is still waiting for his right to leave Israel.

What do the presidential candidates and the two Catholic VP contenders
have to say in light of the above and the following?

4.The cost of American’s nuclear arsenal is
projected to reach as much as $661 billion over the next decade, according to a
report, released on Oct. 7 by Ploughshares Fund, a group that advocates nuclear
disarmament.

The report also acknowledges, “It's not easy to know how much our nation pays
for our nuclear weapons programs. There is no official nuclear weapons budget.
Instead, government spending accounts are often opaque, poorly defined and
always spread out over several government agencies.”

The new estimate claims over the next decade
the United States is looking at spending $370 billion for its “nuclear forces,”
including the triad of long-range bombers, nuclear
submarines, and intercontinental ballistic missiles, in addition to the
laboratories charged with maintaining weapons and dismantling them.

Since the end of the Cold War America has
relied more on its military capabilities rather than diplomacy in pursuit of foreign
policy goals.

It has been said that America possesses
power but not legitimacy to influence foreign affairs.

What would you do as President to
reestablish America’s ability to lead and as a candidate for US HOUSE I suggest
we begin by honoring our obligations as a member state of the UN UNIVERSAL
DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS which includes holding ALL other Member States to
it:

This Tuesday, the second presidential debate will
take the form of a town meeting, in which citizens will ask the questions of
the candidates. Next week, Bob Schieffer will be moderator for the last
presidential debate and the topic is foreign policy.

I am Eileen Fleming for US House and I approve of all of my messages-and questions.

“You cannot talk like sane men around a peace table while the atomic bomb itself is ticking beneath it. Do not treat the atomic bomb as a weapon of offense; do not treat it as an instrument of the police. Treat the bomb for what it is: the visible insanity of a civilization that has ceased...to obey the laws of life.”- Lewis Mumford, 1946

The age of warrior kings and of warrior presidents has passed. The nuclear age calls for a different kind of leadership....a leadership of intellect, judgment, tolerance and rationality, a leadership committed to human values, to world peace, and to the improvement of the human condition. The attributes upon which we must draw are the human attributes of compassion and common sense, of intellect and creative imagination, and of empathy and understanding between cultures." - William Fulbright

“Any nation that year after year continues to raise the Defense budget while cutting social programs to the neediest is a nation approaching spiritual death.” - Rev. MLK
